ISPConfig needs the quota package. Install the quota package from mandriva, delete the rests of the failed install as described in the installation manual, unpack the installer tar.gz again and rerun the setup.

well guys thanks for the help everything I think i got it!!! the installation got all the way till it started asking me questions about mysql and when i put in my sql password it was wrong so i think i have to set up my pw just like it says in the howto on the perfect setup so i am going to try it again and get back to you !!!!!

I tellnet in and connects but when i type in the next comman eh1o localhost i get nothing. please tell me what i am doing wrong AGAIN !!!!

So i continue on and install ispconfig and i get all the way till it ask me questions about mysql and for some odd reason its failing right there:

Click to expand...

First, it's

Code:

eh[COLOR="Red"]l[/COLOR]o localhost

, not

Code:

eh[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]o localhost

!
Secondly, what's in /etc/postfix/main.cf as myhostname and mydomain? myhostname/mydomain must exist in DNS!

Ok guys I feel really stupid on the first question it worked. Also i finally got ispconfig installed and running and i was able to log into it. But i cant find anything on how to configure imap. I was told that ispconfig will give me the ability to edit and configure this protocal. Is this right or am in wrong and need to go another direction????

Not to be stupid or anything but is there any how to's on how to create users and email addresses. And then how users get access to that information. And how users are able to login to your imap server.

I mean i am really really new at this imap and email thing on linux and how to do it.

I did the install it part from the perfect set up guide for madriva/mandrake and i started it. But i cant find were to ad users and email addresses.

Ok well i did what you said i created a client created a site and then i created an email and now i dont know how test to see if the imap is working!!!! How do i send an test email or any email. Do i use a mail client or what do i do here i am lost again for the hundreth time. Of course i dont know any good email clients on mandriva?? So really i am in the dark on this question again....

Why do you need an email client for Mandrive. If you have a windows workstation too you can stay with the mail client you used before. If you are looking for a mailclient for mandriva, have a look at thunderbird, kmail or evolution.

Opem the mailclient of your choice, create a new account. Set incoming and outgoing server to the IP address or domain of your server. Select Imap in the account settings, enter username (the username looks like this web1_xxxxxx) and the password you entered as you creted the email address in ISPConfig. Now send an eimail to the address you created in ISPConfig.
